Andy Murray tells BBC Radio 5 live that British players are not being taught a "specific way", which is hampering the development of youngsters.

The British number one says players from most other countries, like Spain, America and France, have a style of play which is easy to identify with.

Very interesting. I've heard Andy talk about this before - that there are too many foreign coaches teaching British kids and that, as a result, we don't have a tennis identity. But the question has to be asked "How many good quality British coaches are there?" Given that tennis in this country is still seen as minority sport, I'd say probably not many. Maybe if awareness of tennis can be raised - which the Murrays are trying very hard to do, and, it seems, succeeding to some extent - then that might change, but I see it as a long term process, not a quick fix.

Andy's argument was interesting. If all the coaches are teaching the same stuff, then duff coaches won't matter so much because they'll know what they're supposed to be doing and get on with it. He's talking about the basic grounding isn't he? He also talked about the work ethic he encountered in Spain, which came as a huge shock. I think that's what's lacking here. No good dabbling in sport. However, obviously French system isn't like that and they produce wonderful players. Also, football is our national sport and, unlike in Spain and France, it seems to eclipse everything else. Perhaps because in this country there seems to be a class divide going on. Tennis= middle class and a bit elitist. Football= working class and open to everyone.Golding has a court in his back garden, bit of an advantage I'd say. The Broady dad falls out with LTA has the dosh to send his kids to France.I rest my case
